Cumulus Support

Dear fellows
I wondering if there is a way to connect my station at a remote location through usb direct at my modem in such a way to avoid using my computer.
WH1080 and other similar station they are incorporate a memory keeping data at specific intervals what is the way to download data through ip?
what gadgets i need? or my modem which include a usb port is able to do it?
cumulus veta i undersatnd can support ip stations how i can utilize this future in my case

thanks

You can get USB to IP hubs, which let you connect to USB devices over a LAN or the internet.

Cumulus only allows you to connect to stations using IP if those stations have IP ports - currently the only ones which have these are the Davis stations with the appropriate hardware or software.

I have been trying to achieve this for a long time, but haven't got very far.

I did purchase a Belkin USB Network Hub, which allows me to have my weatherstation connected to my router and is accessible by Cumulus over the LAN. The PC running Cumulus still sees it as a USB device, but it is not connected directly.

It seems the Belkin device software on the client does not allow you to access the Weather Station over the internet using public IP addresses, only private ones.

I was wondering whether some routers that have a built in USB port would solve this. Does anyone have any experience of this?

But then (using an Offset), we would need to get Cumulus to recognise the Weather Station by IP instead of USB. But I don't believe Cumulus can do that.

My desire is to have my weather station in France accessible from Cumulus running on my PC in the UK.

How would that work? Fine Offset stations don't have a communications protocol, in the way that the Davis stations do. Cumulus gets the data by reading the appropriate locations from the station memory via USB. What protocol would it use to do that over IP?

Hi Steve,

I guess what I mean is;

1. the remote weather station (France) is connected via USB to a router or hub and is accessible via the internet.

2. the local PC (UK) running Cumulus is still configured to use USB but there is 'some kind of client software' running on the PC that maps the USB device to the public IP address of the weather station in France.

As quoted earlier, I have achieved this locally over a LAN and it works fine. The PC running Cumulus is configured to use USB, but the client Belkin software maps it to IP and 'finds' the weather station on the LAN.

If you were prepared to run a PC at the remote (weather station) end, you could use something like this:

Hi Steve,

Many thanks for the link, I should have said earlier that I had already looked at that but as you say, you need a PC at the remote end running some software which is what I'm attempting to avoid.
